these hands were in close proximity and I felt like I was getting run over.

Hand 1 seems fairly standard.

Hand 2: I'm not even sure I peel on this flop because if I pick up a 7 or an FD as you did I get stuck on the hand.
The turn raise I really don't like at all. I don't think you
are getting a better hand to fold. Except maybe 77 or 88, and you will get 3-bet alot. I think you must Check/Fold that river.

Hand 3: I assume that you were planning on following through on your flop bluff and got confused by him leading out into you. You could easily be drawing dead on the turn. The flop raise is read dependent, but I think you should fold the turn

In general, when I think I am getting run over I like to find a hand that I can showdown, and actually cut down on my fancy Play.
